Kinetic: desktop installation of BWI fails

[nitin5]

Greetings I am trying to install BWI code on my desktop. I do not have access to Segbot and will like to use gazebo simulations. I am interested in Multi_level_map navigation package. I am getting following errors in following listed instructions

$rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro $ROS_DISTRO -y ERROR: the following packages/stacks could not have their rosdep keys resolved to system dependencies: bwi_virtour: Cannot locate rosdep definition for [web_video_server] segbot_navigation: Cannot locate rosdep definition for [eband_local_planner] segbot_sensors: Cannot locate rosdep definition for [hokuyo_node] segway_navigation_apps: Cannot locate rosdep definition for [frontier_exploration] segbot_bringup: Cannot locate rosdep definition for [segway_rmp]

On doing catkin build, following error is reported Errors << velodyne_driver:make /home/nitin/catkinws_bwi/logs/velodyne_driver/build.make.000.log

I understand that all the dependencies have not be installed by rosdep because of which further compilation errors are being reported. Is there a minimal subset for multi-level-map navigation and gazebo documented which i can try?

What ROS version are you running? On what Ubuntu operating system?

[nitin5]

I am using ROS Kinetic on Ubuntu 16.04.

[rdelfin]

Our codebase only supports Ubuntu 14.04 with ROS Indigo (check issue #44). We recommend you downgrade your version of Ubuntu in the meantime while this is resolved.

Closing this as it is essentially a duplicate of the others linked above.
